Durant: Basketball superstar Kevin Durant is an NBA player with incredible talent. One might think that because he wasn't selected with the first pick in the 2007 draft, he was just talented, not top-notch.
But judging from the performance of the game over the years, Durant definitely belongs to the so-called "extraordinary talent". His basketball talent destined him to be an incredible talent. After observing some of his **, this view is even more firm, such a talented player may not be able to reproduce in another 20 years. Durant's reach is one of his most important static talents.
With a height of 2.08 meters and an arm span of 2.25 meters, this ratio is perfect. Compared to Yi Jianlian, Durant's arm span is obviously better. Although the gap may not seem large, the impact on the game is worlds apart. Durant's ball skills are very solid, especially his shooting. His hands are indispensable and crucial to his consistent shooting.
His huge palm made the basketball appear a little smaller in his hand. Especially compared to ordinary people, Durant's palms are more like giants' hands, while fans' palms are like "baby hands". Also, for basketball players, the shorter the neck, the better. Durant is known for his short neck, and even when standing with players of similar height, he is noticeably taller.
Ball control can be improved by practicing Xi, but the sense of the ball is really talented. Due to his height, Durant has outstanding ball handling ability. He has a fast ball rate and a low centre of gravity, and is able to get past people in a variety of ways. This is relatively rare for previous big man players. Durant's bounce ability is also quite good.
During his time with the Thunder, he frequently staged various wonderful dunks, and 9 of the 9 seasons had more than 100 dunks in a single season, which can be said to be the top actual dunk. His extreme bounce is also over 1 meter, and combined with his excellent height and reach, his dunk really gives people an unstoppable sense of oppression.
In the early days, he also often had a picture of his header exceeding the basket, and he could indeed be called a "spring man". To sum up, Durant undoubtedly has extraordinary talent, his reach, big hands, short neck, excellent ball sense, and bounce ability make up his basketball talent, making him a legend in NBA history.
